Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172.81 8, dated February 1, 1876; application filed September 13, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY JANE MGOOLL, of Allendale, in the county of Bergen, State of New Jersey, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Ornamentation of Surfaces; and that the following is a full and clear description of the same.

The object of my invention is to ornament surfaces with wax figures and letters held thereon by the adhesive quality of the wax without the aid of any gum or paste.

My invention consists in cutting figures or letters out of wax (rolled into a sheet of a certaln thickness) by aid of die-plates made of pasteboard, wood, or metal.

These die-plates are placed on a sheet of wax, which has been previously prepared by rolling it out into the desired thickness, and, by aid of sharp instrument, the wax is cut through by following the outlines of ornamentation, as shown on the die-plates.

Referring to the drawing accompanying this specification, Figure I is a face view of a surface ornamented with wax letters and figures embodying my invention. Fig. II is a face View of the die-plates.

A represents a surface orna? ented as described.

G represents the letter 0, and D the figure of a ,cross out out of wax. I

E represents the die-plate of the letter C, and F is the die-plate of the cross D.

Having thus described my invention, I desireto claim- The process herein described of ornamenting surfaces of metal, wood, paper, and other surfaces, by attaching thereto letters and fig ures formed from sheetsof wax, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

This specification signed this 10th day of September, 1875.
